Western nation wants to ban tobacco, but only for younger generations
(THE NEW AMERICAN) – Britain, the once-proud land that made “knife control” a thing and seized children from parents for a lack of fork control (the kids were fat), is at it again. This time, King Charles III has confirmed, the plan is to prohibit anyone born in 2009 or later from ever buying tobacco. Don’t believe the fearmongers who say this portends the ultimate removal of all freedoms, however: You’ll still be able to recommend a “sex change” for the kids or kill one in the womb.
King Charles touted the anti-tobacco measure Tuesday while speaking to Parliament for the first time. Per Scripps News: "My government will introduce legislation to create a smoke-free generation by restricting the sale of tobacco so that children currently aged 14 or younger can never be sold cigarettes, and restricting the sale and marketing of e-cigarettes to children," Charles said.
"The legislation would raise the legal age that people can buy tobacco products by one year every year starting in 2027, meaning anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 2009, will never be able to legally buy cigarettes. The proposal was initially announced by [Prime Minister Rishi] Sunak at the 2023 Conservative Party Conference in October, when he also pledged to crack down on the sale of vape products."
